Dear Family,
So we did have a baptism on Saturday! Elvira! She is so cute. She is the grandmother of a family that joined the church last fall. It was very exciting for everyone. She was so sweet, she said as she went down that she just thought, " Señor, que se ha su voluntad." I love her.

So. Last night when driving home President Bennion called. And I have
been asked to be a Sister Training Leader. I don't really know what
I'm supposed to do. But yea. I said yes. I'm excited for he
opportunity to serve, even though I have no idea what I'll be doing
besides exchanges...
This weekend was stake conference. Which meant I got to see a lot of old friends! Including the Rahm boys, and the triplets! I was so excited to see them. They are doing well.

So the family with the girls, they have a little sister, Kathy. She's 8 years old, and just melts my heart. We went over the other night and she showed me this picture she drew of what she wanted to be like when she grew up. It was a girl with a lollipop and at top she had written, "Popler (but nice)" with a little boy in the background saying "hi". I started talking with her about who she is as a daughter of God and how she is the daughter of a King. We showed her the video "Our True Identity" by Elder Uctdorf and She was so sweet. She said that she wanted to change her picture and she went and got a new sheet of paper and had titled it "Princess of God". We then colored a picture of a girl in a pink dress with a tiara.
In a talk by Tad Callister, he said in a seminar someone asked, "How can we help those struggling with pornography?”Elder Russell M. Nelson stood and replied, “Teach them their identity and their purpose.”
That tells me that teaching someone about their identity can help with a lot of things. It's the first thing we teach people, "God is our Loving Heavenly Father". I know He is and that He lives. Knowing that I am a child of God has influenced the way I think and the way I treat others. It was a privilege to witness someone else come to that realization.
We gave her a children's Book of Mormon and she loves it! It is so fun to read with her whenever we go over. I just adore her.
Today was transfer calls, and the good news is that me and Sister Solis get to stay here in Cumorah! I'm excited. This is a good area and good things are to come.
I love and miss you!
